Preliminary Task

The Brief

Planning

As a group we had to chose a music video to recreate. For easier filming purposes we chose from music videos that were filmed and set inside a school. after watching a previous class' video to High School Musical's 'What time is it?', as a group, we decided to try something different and thus chose Jessie J's 'Who's laughing now'. The song and video depicts bullyinh in a school. To plan this, the seven of us assigned eachother with individual roles appropriate to the video and prepared the classroom to loo some what similar to the video's. Also we practised learning the words to the song so it would be easier when lip syncing during the filming process.

Filming
To begin filming our music video, we used a DLSR camera and used a variety of different scamera angles to make the video look as similar to the original as possible. Some shots we included followed; extreme close ups, close ups, long shots, medium shots and two shots. All seven of us had the chance to film some shots ranging from a second to around six or seven seconds. Our assigned roles included young Jessie, old Jessie, the four bullies and the other children in the background, leaving the majority of us to lip sync. this was deemed as embarrassing and difficult for some of us. Using a tripod with our camera ensured we had shots that looked professional and were not shakey in anyway. after filming we had around 45 that we later edited.


Editing
To edit our music video remake we used Adobe premier Procc2018 and downloaded the original videa from YouTube to put in thee bottem right corner. This way people can easily distinguish the similarities and differenced between our video and the original. Editing took around and hour and a half and our video is around a minute and five seconds.



The Final Product


Evaluation
Overall, I personally found this task very difficult. I had difficulty with the entire process yet I am happy with how the final product turned out to look like. Although I found this task hard, it made me realise that I would much rather base my coursework on a magazine rather than a music video.
